<h3>Progress</h3>
Software for the fiber tracking and statistical analysis along the tracts has been implemented. The statistical methods for diffusion tensors are implemented as ITK code as part of the [[NA-MIC/Projects/Diffusion_Image_Analysis/DTI_Software_and_Algorithm_Infrastructure|DTI Software Infrastructure]] project. The methods have been validated on a repeated scan of a healthy individual. This work has been published as a conference paper (MICCAI 2005) and a journal version (MEDIA 2006). Our recent IPMI 2007 paper includes a nonparametric regression method for analyzing data along a fiber tract.

  • Kitware: Stephen Aylward

Objective

The goal of this project is to develop 2D ultrasound technology for image-guided procedures.

Specifically, we focus on ultrasound image processing techniques that can operate in a complementary fashion with external probe tracking systems. For instance, to achieve 3D reconstruction and online visualization in the context of image-guided neurosurgery, where calibrated or tracked ultrasound may not be available.

Approach, Plan

  • Develop code (C++) for trackerless ultrasound feature matching and associated applications
    • 3D reconstruction
    • Online visualization / navigation
  • Port to a Slicer module
  • Testing algorithms on US data provided by PLUS, Tamas.

Progress

  • External build of nlopt library for Slicer (Thank you jc)
  • Developed algorithm and c++ code for trackerless US plane localization
  • Developed slicer module for trackerless US plane localization

Delivery Mechanism

  • Code and slicer module
  • A writeup of developments/results for future publications.
